Yes, I Created a Meghan Markle Capsule Wardrobe
The royal wedding is almost upon us, which means after months of speculation, we’ll finally get our first glimpse of Meghan Markle’s wedding gown. The actress’s engagement to Prince Harry has stirred up a certain type of fervor worldwide, especially in the fashion industry. If Meghan Markle wears a dress or coat, you can guess that it’ll be mere hours until said item sells out. But there are certain brands Markle seems to favor, a capsule wardrobe of sorts. Her style is sophisticated to be sure, but she still manages to incorporate a mix of classic and even sporty pieces into her wardrobe.
Do you count yourself among those obsessed with Meghan’s style (as we do)? Below we’re highlighting seven brands she’s favored. From classic British brands to affordable lines from across the pond, if you’re inspired to try Markle’s look on for size, these are the brands to add to your rotation.
Manolo Blahnik
Heels are a required part of the royal uniform, and Markle has favored classic styles from Manolo Blahnik. The sleek pumps work with more formal ensembles and for any daytime obligations that may be on her schedule.
Mackage
Outerwear label Mackage hails from Montreal, a sister city to Markle’s former Canadian hometown of Toronto. The sleek coats and bags are ideal as part of the royal uniform.
Mother
While jeans may not be the first item you associate with royalty, Markle favors jeans in more casual situations, especially those by L.A.-based brand Mother. She’s worn both skinny styles and flares, proving there’s no wrong way to wear denim.
Designer Joseph Altuzarra was a favorite of Michelle Obama’s and has become a go-to for Markle as well. The classic yet fashion-forward designs make Altuzarra ideal for occasions when dressing up is a necessity but a more trendy approach is desired.
Self-Portrait
Since British brand Self-Portrait first arrived on the scene, it has been a favorite for weddings, parties, and other occasions where dressing up is a necessity. The pretty floral and lace designs have become an easy choice for Markle.
Aritzia
Canadian brand Aritzia is known for its affordable and chic basics, and Markle has relied on the brand for items that fit every occasion. From a simple belt to a cool trench she’s worn with jeans, Markle has turned to Aritzia for many situations.
